Hey guys. So I am just looking for an open source game with the same concept as Hill Climb Racing. The reason I want it it so I can mess with it and play with it for fun. I want it to be for computer - not android. If anyone knows of something like this, PLEASE save me the trouble of coding one. I have no clue how the physics would be done AND since I only want to play with it, I don't really want to create it from scratch.

no.. i mean i want to be able to edit the code that already exists... just changing the way it works

If you want to develop games it's more than editing other people's code. There's a word for using other peoples' work as your own, it's called plagiarism. Like I said, if you just want to edit stuff, either go to a high-level game "making" tool or go mod minecraft or something.

well modding that game is basically what i want to do then! i only want to play with it myself for fun not claim it as my own. i do mod minecraft but thats totally different. all i was askin for is the ability to mod HCR for fun. not claim it as my own

I'm a little late to this discussion, but I do run a little website that has user-submitted open-source Java (and Processing) games available to play and download. I'm not sure if we have exactly what you're going for, but if you want to poke around some open source games, it might be worth checking out: http://StaticVoidGames.com

I think he didn't want to claim that he did it by himself, there is no plagiarism. I started my own project in October 2006 by editing Vincent Stahl's source code and now TUER contains 0 line of code from his game.
